It's pretty clear that Marner was probably the guy holding the team together regardless of what Leafs fans think as they have fallen apart without him. Mathews and Marner being alike lends into the chemistry they had as Matthews game has fallen off the face of the earth without him. Sure they should have traded Marner rather than let him go for nothing but it appears he's the one guy of all of them that the team should have kept long term and one of Matthews, Tavares, Nylander should have been moved prior.
